“I am deeply troubled by the hateful flyers that were posted outside of several schools right here in our community.This is racism plain and simple. As friends, neighbors, community members and allies, we cannot stand by while this kind of behavior goes unchecked,” said Kesten in a post on social media. “These signs must be removed immediately. This is not the message we should be sending to our children. We stand in full support of the good and decent people of Croton on Hudson and the human rights values they stand for.”
